I wonder if the author has considered the idea that it's not a lack of effort or some inherent cognitive gap that keeps them from being "good" programmers, but perhaps these beliefs instead?
- noughtme 7y agoI think it’s time. Peter Shirley decided to specialize in computer graphics, leaving the programming to people who would implement his ideas in libraries, and the production developers who use those libraries.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoI didn’t realize this was Pete Shirley’s blog. Isn’t he still a professor?
- KirinDave 7y agoInteresting, but does that change anything though? I had a famous cryptographer professor. He refused to learn anything past Pascal. He freely admitted he was no longer a programmer and that he shouldn't be doing it. That seems like a different message from the messages presented here.
